tonight obama also cut funding for a weapons program (out of date??), to me unknown, wasn't really listening closely but military funding is being cut!!
Obama Proposes Military Funding!
Us Military | Blackhawk
According to Fox News, President Barack Obama has demanded that the Department of Defense cut its budget request for Fiscal Year 2010 by ten percent, about fifty five billion dollars. The brunt of the cuts will fall on weapons systems.
The proposed military funding cuts come not only during a time of war, but while Congress is demanding that the military expand to meet its commitments. Also, ironically, President Obama's defense funding cuts are being proposed while at the same time he is demanding a nearly trillion

Obama Proposes Military Funding Cuts
dollar stimulus package consisting of domestic spending increases.
Barack Obama's apparent desire to cut back military spending while expanding its size carries within it the very real danger of recreating the Jimmy Carter era "hollow military." The hollow military of the 1970s, in the wake of the Vietnam War, was strong on paper, but because of inadequate funding lacked the necessary weapons, supplies, and training to effectively carry out the national security missions of the United States.
The proposed Barack Obama budget cuts would seem to be dangerous to the point of recklessness in a time when the United States is preparing to fight a major campaign to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan while maintaining other worldwide commitments. The proposed defense funding cuts also sends a signal of weakness to America's enemies.
Considering Barack Obama's wiliness to spend profligately on virtually everything else, one wonders why he had decided to skimp on national defense. It doesn't make sense, even from an economic stimulus perspective. Tens of thousands of people work in industries that manufacture tanks, planes, and ammunition. Defense funding cut backs would tend to depress defense industries, helping to defeat the purpose of an economic stimulus policy.
i don't know the full story but i thought this may be informative to some!!
see ya all sometime tomorrow, i'm off for two days, thursday and friday, yeah, see ya all sometime!!!!

We had an annoying now it all gps all the way down to georgia and back. Named it hillary.
I don't know what they were looking for specifically, but our predisesors did a few things shady, it appears, and the Army is just now catching up. "criminal fraud" is the term that was thrown around loosly. I've been there 2 months, and I am the engineering manager of a small defense contractor. It doesn't effect us (yet).
This military spending cut could hurt us down the road, but I doubt it. We have 1 1/2 years of contracted work right now. That could impact future contracts.

Geez Wayne.
I think I would have needed a change of wardrobe.
I got my wisdom teeth removed years ago. Only had two on top. None on the bottom. Had to eat soft foods for quite a while. And had to rinse my mouth thoroughly after every meal to prevent any food from getting into the wounds.
